Deepika Padukone, who has been mistaken for Priyanka Chopra by the foreign media in the US multiple times, says it's racist and ignorant for people to assume that people with similar skin tones are the same.

In an interview, Deepika said, "To me, it's racist and ignorant. And as a fellow Indian, you (the media) should also be not very happy about. I think just because people have similar skin tones, doesn't mean they are same people."

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has already established herself in Hollywood with not just a film ‘Baywatch’ lined up, but also her hit TV series 'Quantico' along with a couple of international singles.
